Chapter 164 How to celebrate this New Year?
"Tuanan and his mother have gone back to her parents' home. The child has been admitted to university. This good news must be let the grandparents know." Facing everyone's inquiries, Zhuang Chaoying could only answer like this.
Some people believed it, while others did not. They thought that even if it was a good thing, there was no reason to rush over on the same day as receiving the news. They should at least stay at home for a few days to entertain guests. Others thought that since they had come here, they would not be willing to go back without even seeing the genius boy himself, so they asked their neighbors about the situation of the banker.
It would have been fine if I hadn't asked, but as soon as I asked, the truth would be exposed. This was not about going back to her parents' home to announce good news. It was actually that Zhuang Chaoying had a conflict with his wife and children, and he went back to his parents' home to get some peace and quiet.
Having suddenly heard of such a big piece of news, these people were immediately very excited. They quickly pulled the people around them and, regardless of whether they knew them or not, exaggerated the story of the banker's conflict.
"Impossible? The child is so successful, how can he, as a father, not be satisfied?" Some people instinctively refused to believe it.
"I didn't believe it at first, but everyone said so. They can't all be lying to me, right? And think about it, if it wasn't for this reason, why would he be the only one left in the Zhuang family? Now that the senior year is on vacation, and Teacher Zhuang doesn't have to teach, why doesn't he go with him to Changzhou to see his father-in-law?"
"That's right. Hey, such a good child, why does he have such a father?"
The leaders of the middle school attached to the cotton mill who rushed over after hearing the news were so angry when they heard this. They had originally thought well that Zhuang Chaoying was a teacher at the middle school, and his child became a genius boy and was specially recruited by a university at the age of eleven. This matter could be used for publicity.
The teachers in our school can train talented teenagers. Is there any need to say more about this level? They even thought of the outline of the promotional material and were just waiting to come to Zhuang Chaoying to collect some materials to fill it in.
Who would have thought that before entering the courtyard, they would be hit hard. It turned out that the growth of the genius boy had nothing to do with Zhuang Chaoying? Not only that, Zhuang Chaoying seemed to be holding the genius boy back? If the parents of the students in the attached middle school knew about this, they would definitely fall out. Who would dare to expect a teacher who couldn't even manage his own children to teach their own children well? "Is Teacher Zhuang on the list of our school's outstanding students this year?" the vice principal asked with a dark face.
"Wasn't this discussed in the meeting yesterday? Teacher Zhuang has participated in the college entrance examination marking, and he does a good job in his usual teaching work, so everyone raised their hands in agreement?" The dean of studies was a little puzzled. You didn't raise your hand yesterday, so why are you still asking?
"I think there are still some points worth discussing on this list. Let's vote again when we go back." The vice-president no longer wanted to give this position to Zhuang Chaoying.
Soon, Shen Zhixue also rushed over after hearing the news. He was even angrier because the incident had alarmed the media outside. Reporters from Nanjing, Shanghai and even Beijing called him and asked to interview Zhuang Tunan.
As a result, little Tuanan went directly to his grandparents' house with his mother. If his grandparents were also local, it would be fine. At most, they could change the interview location. Without Zhuang Chaoying's interference, the interview might be even better.
But his grandparents are in Changzhou. If the reporter goes to Changzhou for an interview, and attributes the reason why little Tuanan became a genius boy to his grandparents, wouldn’t Shen Zhixue’s efforts during this period be in vain?
"Get him out of here quickly. I guess if he doesn't leave, little Tuanan will definitely not want to come back." Shen Zhixue looked at Zhuang Chaoying with hatred. This guy was not only ruining his family, but also his personal future. This was absolutely intolerable.
"The school is on holiday and I can't find a reason!" The vice principal couldn't think of any good solution for a while.
"Why can't you find a reason? Have you collected the test papers of all provinces last year's college entrance examination? Studying more about the college entrance examination papers of other provinces will definitely help your teaching work. Arrange for him to go on a business trip to another province immediately. He can come back when all the test papers are collected!" Shen Zhixue thought for a moment and came up with an idea.
"The New Year is coming soon. Isn't it inappropriate to arrange for people to go on business trips at this time?" This move was a bit too harsh, and the vice-president hesitated for a moment.
"Comrade, how come you don't have any sense of urgency? It's already early February, and there are only five months left before the new round of college entrance examinations. If you work harder now, students may be able to get 35 more points in the college entrance examination in the future. Why are you just thinking about the New Year at this time?" Shen Zhixue scolded him.
Shen Zhixue didn't care whether Zhuang Chaoying could have a good New Year. He only knew one thing: if Zhuang Chaoying spent the New Year peacefully in this small courtyard, Shen Zhixue himself would not have a good New Year.
"I'm not aware enough. I'll arrange it right away." After being scolded by the boss of his boss's boss, the vice principal finally understood something. He immediately went back to call a meeting of leaders and prepared to complete the process today.
Shen was not at ease after just dealing with Zhuang Chaoying. He remembered what the old man of the Zhuang family said when he first came here. If he didn't deal with them as well, when Zhuang Tunan came back, they would come and make a fuss, and then be photographed by reporters, then he would be finished.
This time he personally called the leader of Zhuang Ganmei's unit, "Old Liu, this is Shen Zhixue from the Education Bureau. Yes, yes, yes. We drank together at Old Xie's house last time. Do you have time now? Come out and sit here?"
"Hahaha, since Director Shen has invited me, I have to come out no matter how busy I am. Just tell me a place and I'll go there right away." Old Liu also has children who need to go to school, so of course he would not refuse the director of education this face.
When they got there, they ordered a few dishes, had a few drinks, and discussed everything at the table.
The next day, Zhuang Ganmei was also sent on a business trip by the factory to a place as cold as the Northeast. Once she was away, it was uncertain whether she could celebrate the New Year or even the Lantern Festival at home.
Lao Deng panicked. "The New Year is coming soon. Why are you letting my son go on such a long trip? Can't he go after the New Year?"
The factory leader immediately retorted, "You are still fussy about doing things for the company? What's your attitude? Just because of your ideological awareness, the New Year's benefits for your family this year will have to be downgraded."
Now, not only did Zhuang Ganmei have to go on a business trip to the Northeast, but the New Year's goods for their family were much less. Thinking about the fact that Zhuang Chaoying had also left Suzhou for another place, the old woman suddenly cried out, "Everyone has left, and there are fewer things. How can we celebrate the New Year this year!"
